You should probably just grab a copy of Bottom Live from '93 off some torrent. Seriously. You won't regret it—it’s a totally different vibe when you watch it in its original flow, without all those TV censors cutting things up.
Or maybe just download Young Ones. It’s not always hilarious, I guess, but it’s definitely quite the viewing experience.

Yeah, but everyone knows about that first guy. 😬

I don't know, man. I know I watched Slime—the actual series—and it wasn't funny at all. Maybe because I was just a kid back then, I guess. 🤔

This is way better, honestly. *Bottom Live* just doesn't work on a regular TV screen the way it should. It’s still a loud, shallow, and pretty raw kind of show, I guess, but man... when you catch them just tearing into each other mid-performance or how they mess with the audience? That part is just genius. 😬

quietdriver3 said:Red Dwarf is a special case. It isn't even on my favorites list because of the humor or the acting—it’s about the stories. I saw more original sci-fi concepts there than in all of Star Trek combined, or even that old Twilight Zone series. It has some absolute gems, though. It's a shame they wasted them all on such a silly concept.
Word for word. 👍

Or just download Young Ones. It’s not exactly "laugh-out-loud" hilarious, but man, what an absolute viewing experience.
Personally, I find Young Ones absolutely hysterical. Alexei Sayle is basically every manic Eastern European archetype rolled into one. 😍 The best episode features Good Life (since we're already discussing terrible British sitcoms).

first the dabar, now you...
The only one who could pull me out would be Larry Martin11—and even then, only if he admits he can't stand Lars von Trier 😬
...wait, now? After I've finally slogged through the European Trilogy (Epidemic 😍 😍 😍 )? Jeez, you're asking a lot...😬
...and what kind of avatar is that anyway? At this point, I honestly can't tell who's Tinko and who isn't 😵

A "The Bridge of San Luis Rey"?
It stars Harvey Keitel, Gabriel Byrne, Robert De Niro, Kathy Bates, Geraldine Chaplin, F. Murray Abraham, and Samuel Le Bihan—honestly, a film that is just deathly boring.
